Mizzou is pulling more kids from St.Louis every year. In the 90's we didn't get the Richardsons or Beckners.

I wonder why we haven't offered Djimon Colbert yet?
He's a 4* DB out of KC

Probably because they were still offering kids in the 2016 class until yesterday

Love this offer. Big in state kid. No slow playing him.

shite, we've already offered a handful of 2018 kids.

"Can't work both ways...if coaches like Ford, and he's a top 10 assistant (according to whom?) then why can't he build a loyal St. Louis base? I'm sure he's a nice guy, but recruiting is sales and relationship building, and he has proven he doesn't have it.
When you say "StL has never had an allegiance to Mizzou" then you're saying Ford has not built allegiances in StL. He needs help from a strong secondary. Now, in all fairness, I don't think there was a strong salesman on the whole Pinkel staff. I think Ford's tenure & Wilson's sales skills, would have been a formidable team in StL."
I have to give Ford credit. He is building bridges in the STL. Has landed a few biggies. Did good work with Alton and Scales this year. Starting to get some ESTL players and has guys at least considering MU. It wasn't that long ago, (1990s, 2000s?) that STL kids would not give MU coaches the time of day. Ford is still fighting that at some schools I suspect.
Also, you make a big point about Pinkel's offer strategy. I'm guessing a lot of STL kids were told they should be offended by not getting offers on the first visit and that they were too good to need any "consideration."
We have Cross on the staff now as well. That can only help the recruiting in the 314.

Mizzou offered JUCO LT Ronald Rudd III 6'7" 308 lbs. playing for Chaffey College. Class of '17. MU going after monsters O-Lineman

Big kid, needs some S&C time, seems to jolt back at initial contact. He's big enough to be a wall. Hope he redshirts in 2016, so he can play 3 for Mizzou.

Mizzou appears to be heavy leans for the three kids they have offered, including the consensus #1 recruit in the state, DE Chester Graves
Graves looks like we need to lock him down.

DaRon Davis checks in at #213 in the Scout 300
Graves, Colbert and McQuitty also make the cut.
And we have not offered McQuitty or Colbert for some reason...

How are we feeling on our chances to land Jeff Thomas? This is a kid we have been looking at since he was at least a sophomore. He would be a HUGE land for this class.

Better not start that slow play shite. Maybe Shipp will be their primary.

There's 3-4 OL in state that we really need to lock up. Hayes has to be at the top of the priority list. If we can secure our borders on the OLs and pickup 2 JUCO guys, we should be in good shape.

Not great, still time left but I'd say we're 3rd behind Bama then Michigan. Really need to have some of our ESTL guys talk to him.
